One year ago, scientists announced the demise of Utah skiing. This year they are getting buried in snow, and expecting several feet of snow this week in the mountains.

When it comes to climate change, we have to trust our scientists, because they know lots of big scary words

Ski resort snow report Utah. Grab the slats and poles and get going if you can because conditions are great with more powder coming.
http://www.onthesnow.com/utah/skireport.html
http://www.onthesnow.com/utah/snow-forecast.html
For this former military ski instructor the real fun and challenge was off piste. Groomed marked slopes are great but getting off of them to where the real powder is and picking your own route is the place to be for the experienced recreational skier IMO. Just don’t go too far afield alone and don’t take skiers without the necessary experience with you.. Even the best can get hurt and need help even if one does know what the terrain looks like your skiing snow free.
I will never forget the winter of 88-89 skiing Bavaria, Austria, and Italy. Powder to the waist of this 6 footer several times that year. Began the season in October in Austria on a glacier and ended it at Vipiteno, Italy in early April attending the Italian SF (Incusouries sp?) of their Folgore Regiment annual ski training and exercise. Did several night descents during that time including one a torch descent in trail which is a Folgore tradition I guess. Imagine the view of over 200 people skiing down a slope in trail with a burning flare in one hand. Helicopter skied the 2nd highest mountain in Germany from top to bottom in between.
Yes, on-piste skiing is just practice for free-skiing off-piste.
European Alps got almost no snow at all so far. Temperatures are staggeringly high. Is this AGW?
Nope. Cyclical.
Yes! Just ask this guy…
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/files/2015/01/otzi.jpg
Ötzi knows glaciers have been receding lately…
He understands that glaciers recede naturally, he knows far more about climate than you, and yet he has been dead for nearly 3000 years.
Please explain how Ötzi got under the glacier.
He had no digging equipment, no CO2 driver power tools.. nothing like that.
Dig he dig his way under the glacier with his bare hands ?
Must be tough worrying about if transient changes in weather and snow conditions are harbingers of doom.
Yes, and of course strong El Nino years are different. Anyways, some areas of Europe are now 10C warmer than average and the ski industry is suffering.
You know it’s a funny thing about averages, sometimes it’s hotter, sometimes it’s colder.
Has anyone figured out yet what causes an El Nino?
I’m not trying to put forward any kind of accusation, bias, or anything else with this question. I’m just curious if anyone, on either side, knows.
In normal, non-El Niño conditions, trade winds blow in a westerly direction along the equator. These winds pile up warm surface water in the western Pacific, so the sea surface is as much as 18 inches higher in the western Pacific than in the eastern Pacific. These trade winds are one of the main sources of fuel for the Humboldt Current. The Humboldt Current is a cold ocean current which flows north along the coasts of Chile and Peru, then turns west and warms as it moves out into the Central Pacific. So, the normal situation is warmer water in the western Pacific, cooler in the eastern.
In an El Niño, the equatorial westerly winds diminish. As a result, the Humboldt Current weakens and this allows the waters along the coast of Chile and Peru to warm and creates warmer than usual conditions along the coast of South America. As far as we know, other forces, such as volcanic eruptions (submarine or terrestrial) and sunspots, do not cause El Niños.
https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Marine/El-Nino#26072339-what-causes-an-el-nio
In other words, they don’t know.
The “cause” I can’t say, but from what I understand there are several factors that be right for one to develop. For example an El Nino can only occur when the normally easterly trade winds weaken.
http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/tao/elnino/el-nino-story.html
sorry that should have been “westerly trade winds”
Asian snowcover is far more extensive than normal. Siberia has recently been -65 F. Is that glboal cooling? Absolutely not. It is a weather pattern. Some places are warm, others are cold. Nothing new about that.
Come on guys, you know that El Ninos never happened before man-made CO2 existed.
Stop trying to confuse cfool even more than he is already.
And of course , finding stuff UNDER naturally retreating glaciers means nothing.. Someone must have put them there by digging underneath, I reckon.. no other explanation 😉

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/world-war-one/10562017/Melting-glaciers-in-northern-Italy-reveal-corpses-of-WW1-soldiers.html
And an even more important one.
Plants buried under glacial advance in the LIA, and now being uncovered as the glaciers retreat back a fraction of the way towards their early Holocene extent, are able to actually start regrowing.
Warm = LIFE..
Cold = not life.

Two CAGW icons fell, sea level rise and polar bear extinction, one child was burned to death in the name of global warming mitigation, Climate Justice Day in NYC got buried in RECORD SNOWFALL and the Met Office Announced – Europe May be Facing Return Of ‘Little Ice Age’ On top of that Montana’s Glacier National Park, in Colorado’s Front Range, in Wyoming’s Grand Tetons, the glaciers and snowfields are actually gaining volume according to Bob Comey, director of the Bridger-Teton National Forest Avalanche Center. “I’ve never seen a season with a gain like we’ve seen this summer,” Comey said.
Research from the Met Office suggests that Europe could be facing a return of the “little ice age” that gripped Britain 300 years ago, causing decades of bitter winters, Leake warns.
The prediction, to be published in Nature, is based on observations of a slow-down in the sun’s emissions of ultraviolet radiation.

The year 2011 was a real winner.
Three CAGW icons fell, sea level rise, glaciers shrinking, and polar bear extinction, while one child was burned to death in the name of global warming mitigation. Climate Justice Day in NYC got buried in RECORD SNOWFALL and the Met Office Announced – Europe May be Facing Return Of ‘Little Ice Age’ On top of that Montana’s Glacier National Park. in Colorado’s Front Range, in Wyoming’s Grand Tetons, the glaciers and snowfields are actually gaining volume according to Bob Comey, director of the Bridger-Teton National Forest Avalanche Center. “I’ve never seen a season with a gain like we’ve seen this summer,” Comey said.
Research from the Met Office suggests that Europe could be facing a return of the “little ice age” that gripped Britain 300 years ago, causing decades of bitter winters, Leake warns. The prediction, to be published in Nature, is based on observations of a slow-down in the sun’s emissions of ultraviolet radiation.

Armed troops acting on behalf of a British carbon trading company backed by the World Bank burned houses to the ground and killed children to evict Ugandans from their homes in the name of seizing land to protect against “global warming, Villagers told of how armed “security forces” stormed their village and torched houses, burning an eight-year-child to death as they threatened to murder anyone who resisted while beating others.
“The government and the company said the settlers were illegal and evicted for a good cause: to protect the environment and help fight global warming.
NOTE: The ‘settlers’ have been there for years but since Africa does not have land deeds the government can say they are squaters even if the famly has been there since prehistoric times. I used to have a link explaining the land deed problem that makes Africa and South American peasants such easy targets.

Amazing how you can change people’s perception just by what news stories are published and which stories are buried.
It is obvious that gigantic glacial ice caps a mile think over Chicago are perfectly compatible with a rising global temperature. After all, the Laurentide Ice Sheet covered less than 4% of the earth’s surface.
This is an interesting comment:
These are the empirical facts 100% of the fraudsters ignore:
a.) The beginning of the world was like the ending of Hiroshima, as Kuroda [1] correctly surmised in August 1945.
b.) The solar system formed directly from heterogeneous debris of a supernova that made our elements and birthed the solar system.
c.) Ccommon truths in religions and philosophies of life are instructions for living in contact with reality – living inside a pulsar-center solar system.
d.) Neutron-repulsion is the primary driving force in the cores of heavy atoms, some planets, ordinary stars, galaxies and the universe.
e.) Neutron-repulsion in the Sun’s core drives element synthesis, starting with neutron-emission, and then neutron-decay to hydrogen.
f.) Atoms of all chemical elements consist of two forms of electrons orbiting protons:
_ f-1: Highly compacted neutrons;
_ f-2: Expanded hydrogen atoms.
g.) The transformation of neutrons into interstellar hydrogen atoms expands the universe, sustaining human life near this ordinary star.
h.) The “force” Max Planck [2] described in 1944, holding spinning (e-, p+) pairs together, may be like the spiritual “force” in Star Wars.
